Chapter 76 A Madman Suddenly Sharpens His Knife at Night
Shen Lang's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, but Xu Jingde was still watching, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
After a long while, he suppressed his thoughts, took a deep breath, hurriedly got up, and left the Jing'an Prince's Mansion.
Judging from Shen Lang's posture, there was absolutely no way to stop him. Since that was the case, he could only prepare for the worst and make preparations in advance.
Whether Shen Lang's actions were appropriate or whether there was a better solution is no longer important.
The most crucial thing now is that the court must not be thrown into chaos, the foundation of the nation must not be shaken, and a proper plan for handling the aftermath must be devised.
Also, how to help Shen Lang get out of trouble.
The Tiger Legion is the most elite force of the Ming Dynasty, stationed in the capital. They obey only the emperor's orders. If His Majesty is angered and mobilizes them, Shen Lang will surely die.
Xu Jingde's plan was to enter the palace to meet the emperor before Shen Lang made his move, thus delaying the news of Qi Yan's death and increasing Shen Lang's chances of escaping.
The situation is now completely chaotic, and he can't care about anything else; he can only take it one step at a time.
"Open the skill panel!"

【Catch the Azure Dragon: LV1】
[Remaining skill points: 516]
To avoid unnecessary trouble and to prevent the Jing'an Prince's Mansion from getting involved, Shen Lang returned alone to the small courtyard he and Qin Erniu rented.
The first thing to do after entering is to summon the virtual panel.
When encountering danger, prioritize leveling up your skills; this is an ancestral precept that must never be forgotten.
He stared at the "Catch the Azure Dragon" skill at the bottom of the skill list for a while, then his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he shouted in a low voice, "Max it out!"
[You have spent 300 skill points to upgrade "Catch the Azure Dragon" to LV15!]
Congratulations! You have successfully unlocked an advanced workplace skill. Keep up the good work and create new career milestones! Skill points +50!
Two notification sounds rang out in succession. I didn't expect that just learning a new skill would bring me such an unexpected reward.
But Shen Lang was completely oblivious to that at the moment.
At this very moment, a powerful and vigorous energy was surging out from his dantian!
Overbearing and unparalleled, like a true dragon from the void, it forcefully entered his energy channels, devouring and dissolving all the true essence he had previously condensed!
Following this was a faint sound of a dragon's roar.
"This power... is absolutely terrifying!"
Shen Lang closed his eyes slightly, feeling his power rising steadily, as if undergoing an amazing transformation!
Such an exaggerated rate of improvement was something he had never experienced before; the feeling was... absolutely wonderful!
Shen Lang felt every pore on his body open up, as if he were soaking in a hot spring, his body swaying irregularly with the ripples of the water, feeling relaxed and at ease.
"I never imagined that a mere sword technique could mutate all my true essence!"
"It seems the fortune teller wasn't lying to me; this method is indeed quite extraordinary!"
Shen Lang clenched his fist tightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. Suddenly, he drew his long sword from his waist, poured in his true energy, and roared in the next moment!
Three phantom azure dragons appeared beside him, appearing and disappearing, swirling and circling, exuding a fierce and terrifying aura!
Shen Lang's eyes grew brighter as he suppressed the urge to swing his sword and sheathed it.
Just now, at the very moment the Azure Dragon phantom appeared, he felt a surge of violent emotion suddenly appear in his mind.
Under the influence of this emotion, he inexplicably felt an urge to destroy the world!
"This method is somewhat unorthodox. Until I change my internal energy cultivation method, it should only be used as a last resort to save my life, and should never be used lightly."
Shen Lang circulated the "Subduing Demons and Suppressing Prison Heart Sutra" to calm his emotions, and then carefully comprehended it, quickly discovering the crux of the problem.
Learning special techniques may cause changes in the characteristics of one's true essence, which is called true essence mutation.
Although this phenomenon is rare, it is occasionally mentioned in ancient books.
The reason Shen Lang felt unable to suppress it was not only because the "Catching the Azure Dragon" technique was of such a high grade, but also because his martial arts were still at the level of Jianghu martial arts, which was too out of touch with reality, and his true essence was somewhat unbalanced after its mutation.
Simply replace the cultivation method as soon as possible and condense the true essence again to eliminate future troubles.
"The fortune teller didn't do anything reckless, so it seems she is indeed very sincere. I just don't know what her ultimate goal is."
Shen Lang's eyes flickered slightly, as if he were deep in thought.
He had not originally intended to practice "Catching the Azure Dragon" so hastily.
After all, he hadn't figured out where the fortune teller came from, so he couldn't be completely at ease.
Now, forced by circumstances, he is willing to risk his life. If things go wrong, he might lose his life. He can't care about these things anymore. The more strength he has, the safer he will be. That's why he is risking his life to cultivate.
Fortunately, everything seems to be going smoothly so far, and there seems to be no problem with the technique, which puts his mind at ease a little.
Shen Lang exhaled a burst of energy, his eyes slightly closed, and slowly guided his true essence into his dantian.
Without lingering any longer, he leaped into the air, stepping on the walls and eaves, and disappeared at the end of the alley in a few flashes.
Diancang Mountain, Qingyun Temple.
Shen Lang once again visited the secluded courtyard where Princess Yongci was practicing her seclusion.
The Ministry of Justice officials have already come and taken away all of Princess Yongci's belongings, and have renovated the house.
So now it doesn't look as messy as it did before.
Shen Lang stood in the center of the courtyard, a mist of gray and red gradually rising in his eyes.
"Hey, are you there?"
As Shen Lang called out, the string of moon-white stone beads on his wrist lit up slightly, emitting a wisp of green smoke.
However, it only lasted for a moment before abruptly stopping, and the wisp of smoke retreated even faster.
Shen Lang was looking around and did not notice anything unusual about the stone bead.
A moment later, a phantom, like a flower in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water, floated over the wall and flew in.
"What is it?"
They really do come out as soon as you call them?
Shen Lang raised an eyebrow, his gaze becoming somewhat strange.
He wanted to make a deal with the fortune teller, but didn't know how to contact her, so he came to this villa with the idea of giving it a try.
Surprisingly, they actually made contact.
Could it be that what she said before, about having countless illusory bodies that are omnipresent, wasn't just a bluff?
Shen Lang suppressed his thoughts for the moment and got straight to the point: "I want to make another deal with you!"
The illusory figure of the fortune teller floated in mid-air, remained silent for a few moments, and then said, "What do you need me to do?"
Shen Lang asked, "When you helped the flower thief cover up the truth, how many people could you possibly influence with the mind-bending methods you used?"
"I need you to help me quietly lure the people around Mingyufang in Zhongcheng to one place without alerting anyone. Can you do that?"
"Alright," the fortune teller said succinctly.
Shen Lang asked, "What are your conditions?"
The fortune teller was silent for a moment, then said, "You owe me one. If I need anything in the future, I will come to you."
Shen Lang nodded slightly: "Okay."
"In that case, I will wait for you at the West Market entrance at midnight tonight."
The fortune teller's illusory form swayed gently in the wind, then suddenly asked, "For a few unrelated people, you're willing to risk your life? Is it worth it?"
Shen Lang chuckled, "You knew that too?"
"You really are everywhere."
The fortune teller remained silent and did not say anything.
Shen Lang smiled and said, "You only consider the pros and cons, but I only consider right and wrong."
Whether it's worth it or not doesn't matter. Just do it if you want to, why worry so much?
